EOLIC 200

The EOLIC 200 is a ride without competition and without a podium, guided only by GPS and "almost" in total autonomy. 200km. 3600A+ The clash is in Serra do Caramulo and in the middle of autumn, we cross small and peculiar villages forgotten during the longest climb and end up at Caramulinho, the highest point in this mountain range. In a kind of cinematograph, we crossed the entire Wind Farm, always above 900 meters of altitude, with real gravel, a lot of it... and went down to the Railway Bridge in Vouzela. Then it is always next to the Vouga River on the Old Train Line, for a few beautiful kilometers of Ecopista and we turn right, ending the calm with a climb to the Rally de Portugal section; from Minas do Braçal to Casa do Guarda, ending in Gavião... then we dive into the agricultural fields of the Lagoon Zone of Ria de Aveiro until ending at Mercado de Ílhavo. At the end there are Rojões da Bisavó Resende and Pão de Vale de Ílhavo... Registrations are open on: https://forms.gle/v4vTygBNpY2f93mN9 But you can ride 500km. We call it GRAVILHA 500. Gravel in Portugal we say Gravilha. That's why we named it. Choosing this distance and we guarantee the best scenery. We start watching the sunrise over the fields of Baixo Vouga and Ria de Aveiro... Observe the shy cattle egrets pecking at the freshly plowed earth. We continue through the Atlantic Forests feeling the sea breeze, until we reach the Serra da Boa Viagem at Figeira da Foz. Then the Baixo Mondego... which can slow down during the hottest part of the day. Dry. Arid. Crows hovering. The Gândara and Bairrada regions in the cool of the evening. Vineyards. Then Serra do Caramulo. Cinematic. Just after sunrise. Bussaco. Idyllic at the end of the journey - the "bonuses" of the 500km
